Subject: one of my fave recordings of GYBE 2010/2011
if only for the totally wonderful Rockets Fall On Rocket Falls. The recording is very good throughout, and the band are up for it. This one track stands out, the recording really capturing the subtly changing rhythms, esp where the 'main theme' comes back in late in the piece.
Many thanks for taping, and sharing

Notes

This show has been recorded from the front row of the Glasgow Barrowlands. Taper's position was in front of one of

the main speaker stacks for a more 'even' sound, rather that at centre stage where the band's own amps were

positioned in a semi-circle. The show was extremely LOUD so I'm glad I took the earplugs!

Consequently, what you have here is an up-close and personal recording. Due to the volume level of the band, my

own input levels were set low. Therefore, giving the 'advantage' of picking up less audience noise.



On the night, the show was apparently sold out but due to adverse weather conditions in central Scotland the place

looked nowhere near capacity. Heavy snowfall (for the UK) pretty much crippled the country for almost a week and the

temperature in the 'Barras' was pretty dang cold too. Never seen so many woolly hats worn at the front of a gig before!

I think there would have been alot of wasted tickets for this night, which is a shame. The band was excellent and the

audience, that were there, loved it.



Unfortunately, there are always some people at gigs making a nuisance of themselves. In the introduction to track 4, Moya,

a women can be heard getting quite upset with a couple of guys behind her touching her head. The bouncer at

the other side of the railing sees this and leans over to give the guys a well deserved bollocking. Although I'm still suprised

how quietly this comes over in the recording. It is these same guys who are responsible for the intermittent wooping, yelling

and swearing in between songs. I spoke to them prior to the gig starting and they seemed fine but after their frequent trips

to the bar it seems they don't handle their drink too well.



Enjoy!
